' TOY Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented. Jan. 8, 1907.

Application filed May 24,1905. Serial No. 262,101.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, PETER J. DELzEI'r,-Jr., a citizen of the. United States, residing at Rosedale', in the. countyof Atlantic and State, of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Toys, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has relation to aerial toys;

. and it consists in the construction'and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and particularly pointedout in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 i is a vertical central. section of a toy cona prow 4, and a .a figured body 2, supported thereby.-

' elongated hollow stem 6, representing the main shaft of the vessels The vessel-body is hollow and is sus endedfrom the balloon' throu h the medlum'of narrow elongated tube-like hangers '7. 'A

tube 8 de*' pends from the bottom of the vessel-body,

eing in communication with the interior thereof'and serving toinflate the toy. By

preference, the toy'is constructed of a single stri of materiaharranged to form the wall- .of t e balloon, the walls of the hangers 7, and

the .wall of ,the vessel-body, including the stem 6 -.andpropeller 5 all of which parts are outlinedby the material, so that said vesselbody with its contiguous arts are in direct communication throu h t e hollow hanger 7 with the interior of t e balloon 1.

and

In use the buoyant fluid or gas is introduced through the filling-tube 8 to fill and suitably inflate the vessel-body with its conti uous parts, the hangers 7' and the balloon, w en thetoy assumesthe shape of an airship. A cord 9 is preferably secured about the depending filling-tube to prevent escape of the gas, which cord subsequently serves to prevent the escape of the toy from the user, it being understood that the cord is of sufficient length to permit the toy to rise to the desired height in the air.

Owing to the flexible nature of the material used the toy when in collapsed condition will occu y the minimum of space and may be read y handled or transported.

It is to be understood, of course, that the figured body supported by the balloon may be in any desired configuration, the 'st of the invention resting in a balloon and edtoy arranged in communicationand adapted to be simultaneously inflated.

Having nowdescribed my invention, what I claim as new, and desire ters Patent, is An aerial toy com rising a one-part continuous hollow lflexib e structure ,havin an upper and lower compartment separate by inter-posing vertically arranged 'commum- Gating tubes, a horizontal prow formed by a. continuation of one of the tubes and by the bottom. of the lower compartment, a horiother tube and also y the bottom of said lower compartment, the horizontal tube be? ing rovided with blades, and a central de-- to secure by Let- 1 zontal tube formd b a continuation of the pen ing filling-tube adapted to supply the whole structure with gas.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses. v
